The Seattle Storm announced on Saturday that the club has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with the franchise’s all-time single-season scoring leader Jewell Loyd.
The two-time WNBA champion, who leads the league with a career-best 24.6 points per game this season, has been the lone bright spot once for a Storm club that has endured a disappointing 11-28 season.
“It’s been special for Seattle to witness Jewell compete for championships and rise to be one of the best in the game. She is a franchise player, and we are excited to continue to build our future around her,” said Alisha Valavanis, Seattle Storm President & CEO. “She is a remarkable person and leader, she lifts her teammates, the organization, and her community. Everyone around Jewell knows she embodies greatness. We’re so glad she’s staying in Seattle.”
